Description

Configuration method and device of hybrid beam forming sub-connection structure
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of wireless communication, in particular to a configuration method and a configuration device of a hybrid beam forming sub-connection structure.
Background
Millimeter wave and massive MIMO technology are one of the key technologies of 5G, and have been widely studied in recent years. One of the main reasons that millimeter wave technology is applied is: compared with a lower frequency band, the millimeter wave frequency band resource is richer, and higher system capacity can be brought. In addition, the millimeter wave frequency is high, the wavelength is short, and the deployment is easy. However, in the millimeter wave system, signals are easily blocked, which causes great loss, and the beamforming technology of massive MIMO can bring great gain to the signals. Therefore, the millimeter wave technology is combined with the large-scale MIMO technology, and the performance of the system can be greatly improved.
In the case of the conventional beamforming technology, the performance of the analog beamforming technology cannot meet the requirement, and the full digital beamforming technology uses a large number of radio frequency links, which may bring a huge overhead to the system. Therefore, both of these cannot meet the requirements of the current millimeter wave massive MIMO system. Thus, hybrid beamforming techniques have emerged. The hybrid beamforming technology is a feasible scheme, and not only can meet the requirements of system performance, but also can greatly reduce the system overhead.
The hybrid beam forming structure can be further divided into two types, a full connection structure and a sub connection structure, according to the topological structure of the connection between the antenna and the radio frequency chain. In the full link configuration, each antenna is connected to all rf chains, while in the sub-link configuration, a group of antennas, which is a subset of the antenna array, called an antenna sub-array, is connected to one rf chain. The frequency spectrum efficiency of the sub-connection structure is slightly lower than that of the full-connection structure, but compared with the full-connection structure, the number of phase shifters in the sub-connection structure is small, and the power consumption is lower. Therefore, the sub-connection structure has higher energy efficiency. The sub-connection structure achieves a tradeoff between system performance and hardware complexity. The sub-connection structure is divided into a local structure and a staggered structure according to the formation mode of the antenna sub-array. For the partial structure, the antennas in the antenna sub-array are adjacent and continuous, while in the staggered structure the antennas of the antenna sub-array are evenly dispersed throughout the antenna array.
The staggered structure has received much attention in recent years. In "ZHANG J A, HUANG X, DYADYUK V, et al, Massive hybrid antenna array for millimeter-wave cellular Communications [ J ]. IEEE Wireless Communications, 2015, 22(1): 79-87", it was demonstrated that the interleaved sub-connection structure enables faster arrival angle estimation using a lower complexity algorithm. The system performance of fixed interleaved sub-connection structures was explored in "PARK S, ALKHATEEB A, HEATH R W. Dynamic Precoding in Wideband mmWave MIMO Systems [ J ]. IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, 2017, 16(5): 2907-20.
In 2015, "ZHANG J a, HUANG X, dyad yuk V, et al. Massive hybrid antenna array for millimeter-wave cellular Communications [ J ]. IEEE Wireless Communications, 2015, 22(1): 79-87", although the authors consider factors affecting the spectral efficiency of the crossbar interconnect structure, and reflect that different crossbar interconnect structures have a large effect on the overall system performance, they do not provide specific parameters related to the optimal crossbar structure and how different crossbar interconnect structures have an effect on the system performance.
